    Tin bids veracity

    For what it's worth, I sold a bunch of Esoterica and other tobacco on Tinbids about a year or two ago. I can attest, most of it shipped to China. Maybe all of the Esoterica.

    Dunhill Light Flake, Flake, and Dark Flake Question

    Can someone either validate my memory or correct me? I believe about 10 years ago and before, Dunhill sold "Light Flake" and "Flake" in square tins. Then the U.S. banned the word "Light" in connection with any tobacco product. So Dunhill rebranded as "Flake" and "Dark Flake." So if my memory...

    How Do Folks Prefer to Buy?

    Yes - I've talked with Steve, and even met him once years ago at the Chicago pipe show. The more valuable stuff he would take, but aged $10 tins rather might be worth $20 aren't in his wheelhouse. But he's definitely a solid guy and a great resource.

    How Do Folks Prefer to Buy?

    No worries. I wasn't certain. I appreciate the "move" rather than a complete "delete." Thank you.

    How Do Folks Prefer to Buy?

    Yeah - unfortunately, my loss of smell is unrelated to COVID. It been a 30 year long process, kind of like how many people lose hearing over time. I believe it's genetic-related. My adult son has had several surgeries to try to restore his sense of smell. Too late for me.

    How Do Folks Prefer to Buy?

    Long timers here might still remember me, although I've been mostly quiet for years now. I unfortunately have a worsening and worsening sense of smell and taste (which incidentally is why I picked up pipe smoking to start with - it took bold scents and flavors before I could smell or taste...

    Hahahaha. It's more like: "moving the tobacco and getting it sorted is more important than placing the living room furniture." Haha.

    Thought I'd Try to Make Some Mouths Water

    We just moved from the midwest to Tucson, AZ. Had to pack the collection and move it myself. Didn't want anyone else messing with it. So today I unpacked and it's reorganization time. I haven't bought a single tin of tobacco since 2016, so this is all at least five years old. Some if it is ten...

    This Just Makes Me Sick

    What's the going price? I will DEFINITELY sell at $500 per 8 ounce bag. LOL. Expecting no offers at that price, I will happily smoke it myself. :)

    This Just Makes Me Sick

    Thanks - it looks like I haven't posted in seven months. Oops. Life happens, got busy and turned my time elsewhere. Then I got an e-mail saying McClelland was shutting their doors. Well red virginias are the top of my list. I've got no regrets now, having heeded all of the advice and...

    This Just Makes Me Sick

    Wow. I'm amazed most of you are American. Supply and demand. Econ 101. Two weeks ago the supply was never-ending. Today it's gone. Price goes up. Don't you buy stocks hoping the price will go up and you'll sell to someone else someday? Good grief people. It's tobacco - arguably a luxury...
